You're not going to get much power with bolt on's beyond what you've already done imo. I'd save my pennies and apply it all to either a cam/heads or a SC or maybe both... all depends on your budget. I skipped all the bolt ons and went right to SC on a bone stock LS2 and got over 500 rwhp! Car still runs and drives like stock...

When you say s/c will it be a roots style or centrifugal? Roots blower, have someone spec you a profile that will optimise the blower.Youve already got the exhaust system. Do some research and stabilize your valvetrain. Double springs,YT ultra lites and at least 5/16 hardened pushrods.
Centrifugal, all of the above 102/102 intake and TB. You will now have reached the outer power limits your LS2 will tolerate before it becomes an I.E.D.
